X²-4x+18=0
x= 4 ± √(16-4*1*18) / 2
x=4±√(16-72) /2
x= 4 ± √-56 /2
x = 4±2i√14 / 2
x= 2±√14 * i
Answer:
$4,116
Step-by-step explanation:
Worth of Mike's car at the start of 2014 = $12,000
If the car is said to depreciates every year by 30% = 30/100 = 0.3
The worth of the car at the start of 2017 is what we are to determine.
This means that the car depreciated by 30% (0.3) for 3 years since 2014 (2017 - 2014 = 3 yrs)
The worth at the start of 2017 would be calculated as follows:
12,000 × (1 - 0.3)³
= 12,000 × (0.7)³
= 12,000 × 0.343
= 4,116
Worth of the car at the start of 2017 would be $4,116
To approximate the P(x<27) we need to find the z-score of the data, this will be given by:
z=(x-μ)/σ
where:
μ-mean
σ-standard deviation
x=27, μ=32, σ=4
z=(27-32)/4
z=-5/4
z=-1.25
thus
P(x<27)=P(z<-1.25)
=0.1056
=10.56%
Answer: 10.56%
